I am 1 of 11 million victims. The majority of us do not want help. We think we are healthy and doing fine. How does not wanting to gain weight put my life at risk? That should be helping me live a longer, healthier, happier life. But for us, it's a different story. We go to the extreme to do anything we can to lose weight. We can't help it. In our eyes, we are fat and ugly. We are actually pathologically terrified of gaining weight and being fat. Along with this fear comes refusing to eat sometimes, binge eating at others, having poor self esteem, fainting regularly, compulsive exercising and taking laxatives or diet pills. But I am not like the majority of my fellow victims. I know I have a problem. I don't want to feel this way or do those things anymore. I know they are harmful and could eventually kill me. I need help, but I can not do it on my own. I need a friend.......
